Little Mary bud heard her father in struct her older brothci-3 and sisters that when, in the courso of congrcgn tion, a subject came up that seemed to be disagreeable to any one present, eti quette demanded that it should lie changed as quickly as possible. Some days after, tier father said to her as he left the house: •“Mary, papa wants you to be very careful if you play in the garden to day, not to touch the hyacinths. Will you remember ?" Of course she would, hut on papa’s return in tho evening ho found his hya cinths picked, and the mark of tho lit tle feet in tlio garden bed. Culling Mary up to him, he looked very grave and said : “My dear, you remember I told you particularly not to touch the hyacinths, and now I find them picked, and no one has been in the garden but you. llow is this?" Mary laughed nnd said : “Oh, papa, it was splendid in the garden to-day I I saw a beautiful lit tlo bird’s nest, and theer was a great big butterfly—” “Wait, wait, my child. I am talk ing to you about something else now. Don’t you understand me ? I am very seriously displeased with you. I told you not to touch the hyacinths, and now I find them picked and your foot prints all about.” “Oh, yes, papa, I did have tho loveli est time in the garden to-day. Don’t you think it was a beautiful day?” “Mary, how dare you answer me so impertinently ? I am talking to you about your disobedience. Why db you not attend to me? I shall hav to make you." Bather sobered by this suggestion tlio littlo girl's countenance fell,.and slio faltered out: “Why, papa, you said that when subject* became unpleasant to any one the only way was to change it.” Pnpe saw the point, and the unpicas ant subject was dropped for that time. ® l ". 31.

There is not a girl on earth, wheth er the daughter of prince or pauper, who, if made a perfect mistress of all household duties, and were thrown lu- to n community wholly unknown, would not rise from ono station to another, nnd eventually become the mistress of her own mansion, while multitudes of young women placed in positions of ease, elegance qnd affluence, blit being unfitted to fill them, will as certainly ascend from ono round of tho lnddcr to another, until at tho .close of life, they are found where tho really com- lelont started from. Mothers of Amer en, if you wish to rid your own nnd your children's households of the des troying locusts which infest your hous es nnd eat up your substance, take a pride in educating your daughters to be perfect mistresses of every home duty; then if you leave them without a dollar, be assured they will never lack a warm garment, a bounteous meal, or a cosy roof, nor fail of the respect of any ono who knows them. Terrorism In South Carolina. The New York Commercial Adver tiser is responsible for tho following : “Some months ago an Episcopalian clergyman, who intended to pass tho Sabbath in one of tho out of the way districts of South Carolina, gave no tice that he would hold divine service in a dilapidated hall that had been un used since tlio breaking out of the civ il war. The inhabitants of this unfre quented place were mostly negroes, and nl the appointed bony they filled the hall to overflowing. On tbo en trance of the clergyman, clothed in the sacred vestments of tho church, an old darkey sitting beside tlio door espied him, nnd mistaking iiis calling, sung out ‘Ku-kltix,’ when the entire' congre gation tumbled every which way out of the windows and through the back door, making for the woods ns fast ns their legs could carry them. Ono old darkey woman fell headlong into nn unused port hole, with her heels high in the air, but was rescued by a couple of colored deacons after a good deal of squalling and protestation that •lie really thought that them ‘ongra- cions white niggers’ were really about to slaughter her. Order nnd a portion of the audicuco having returned, the services were concluded, tlio clergyman preaching a very eloquent sermon from tho text, “None hut tho upright shall enter.” A Forty Bay Fast. A German, named Mcwson, died in Miami, Saline county, on tho 31st nit., after fasting twenty-seven days. His intention was to abstain from food for forty days, in imitation of our Snvidnr before temptation in tho wilderness, but onr Dutchman, like the horse which almost learned to live without eating, ho Biiccumbed to the laws of nature after two-thirds of his fixed timo had expired. The strangest part of the story, however, is that he had once ac complished the feat, if wo may believe the narrative in the Saline Democrat. Mr. Fred Smith, who is well known in Salino county, nnd at whoso house Mewsou boarded in 1851, says he is willing so testify on oath to the fact, that he ntc nothing for -forty days— Some eight or ten dnys previous to commencing the fast, lie began to pre pare his system for it by daily increas ing the amount of food, nnd when the day arrived for him to commence to nbstnin altogether, ho went to bed, where he remained until the fast was ended. Being then a young man with a strong, robust constitution, ho went through with it, though lie was reduced ttvav HOUSE, to a mcro skeleton when his fast was .TOftl\ HIGGINS, J K"’ p At.Eh. irnml- nml p 8 °V. lC Rt0ck IUH'O Jmvulry for Lad 108 "aiy i,'u9-tf, .T.

Nothing on earth can smile but hu man beings. Gems may flash reflected light, hut what is a diamond-flash com pared with an eye-flash and a mirth- flash? A fnco that cannot smile is liko a bud that cannot blossom, nnd dries up on the stalk. Laughter is day, nnd sobriety is night, nnd n smile is tho twilight that hovers gently between both, and* moro bewitching than cilh- A Child Freezes to Dentil In Its Mother’s Arms.

One Drop of Evil. “I don’t see why you won’t let me piny witli Will Hunt,” pouted Walter Kirk. “I know he does not nlwny mind his mother, and smokes cigars, and once in a while swears, just a lit tle. But I have been brought up bet ter than that. I might do him some good.” “Walter,”said his mother, “take this glass of pure, clear water, nnd put just one drop of ink in it.” “Oh, mother, who would have thought ono drop would blacken a whole glass so ?” “Yes; it has changed tho color of the whole, has it not? It is a shame to do Hint. Just put one drop of clear water in it, nnd restore its purity.” “Why, mother, you aro a laughing ntme! Ono drop, nor a dozen, nor fifty won’t do that.” “No, no, my son, nnd therefore, I cannot allow ono drop of Will Hunt’s evil nature to mingle with your care ful training, many drops of which will make uo impression on him.” Hemlock Sweats hi Menlngctls. The Freeport (111.) Bulletin, of a late date, publishes the following letter, written by a gentleman iu Michigan to a friend in Freeport: I only write to tell you what will savo every ease of “cerebro-spinnl mon- ingetis.” It is the same epidemic that raged in this Stato in the winters of 1847 and 1848, which broke up our Legislature, and which carried to the grave every ono it touched until the old-fashioned hemlock sweats were adopted, after which every ease was saved. Our peoplo sent about twenty-five miles and procured hemlock boughs, and they sent for it from all parts of the State. There was a company here that was cnllcd tlio “Hook and Ladder Company,” that for weeks did nothing else night nnd day but go from house to house giving hemlock sweats, and it saved every ease. Thorough sweating might do, but there is no mistake, about hemlock sweats being a specific. Woll Supplied.

Tlio Spirit (if Discontent. Tho other day wo stood by a cooper who was playing a merry tuno with his ndz round a cask. “Ah I” said lie, “mine Is a hard lot— forever trotting like a dog—driving a hoop,” “Hoigho I” sighed the blacksmith on a hot summer day, ns ho wiped tho porsplration from his brow, whilo tho rod iron glowed on tho anvil; “tills is life with a vongemico—melting and fry ing olio’s Bolf over a hot fire.” “Oh I that I was a carpenter,” cjno- illnlcd the shoemaker as lie bent over his lnpsto.no. “Hero I am day after day, wearing my soul away, making soles for others—cooped up in this lit tle seven-by-nltfe room. Ho-hf-hnm 1” “I’m sick of this out door wo£kl!* exclaimed the bricklayer—“boiling un der the sweltering sun or exposed to tlio inclemency of the wenthir. I wish I wore a tailor.” “This is too bad I” pcluluntly cried the tailor—“to bo compelled to sit perched lip here plying tho needle all tho time. Would that mine wero a more nctivo life.” “Last day of grace!—banks won't disoonnt—customers won’t pay—what shall I do ?” grumbles the merchant. “I had rather bo a truck-Uorac, a dog or anything else.” “Happy fellows I” groans the lawyer, as lie scratches Ills head over some dry, musty records—“happy fellows I I had rather hammer stones all day tlinn puzzle n;y head on these tedious, vex atious questions.” ' And through all the ramifications of society all nro complaining of their condition, finding fault with their call ing. “If it were only tills that ortho other I could be content,” is the' uni versal cry-—“anything but wlint I am.” So wags the world ; so has it wagged, and so it will continue to wag. Lcugtli of Days. The days of summer grow longer ns we go northward, nnd tho days of wlnter'sliorter. At Hamburg the long est day has seventeen hours, nnd the shortest seven. At Stockholm thelong- cst has eighteen and a half hours nnd the shortest fivo and a half. At St. Petersburg tbe lorigest has nineteen and the shortest fivo hours. At Fin land the longest has twenty-one hours anil a half and the shortest two and a half. At Wanderbus, in Norway, the day lasts from the 21st of May to the 2d’of July—tho snri not getting below the horizon for the whole time, hut skimming along very close to it in the novth. At Spitzbergen the loa day lasts three months nnd a half. Love Hickness. This is a gnawing disease j nnd peo ple who have it bad bite their nails, bile their lips, nnd bite other’s lips— They liko solitude and meditate a good deni on “solitude sweetened.” That’s wlint makes it so bad when it becomes epidemic, like tho horse^disense. It breaks up soeioty j it breaks up fami lies j breaks up old friendships nnd breaks up a good many hearts. But ft isn’t such a very bad sickness to have, after all. It don’t tako a fellow right olf from his feet liko the ague.— It’s a little warming to tho blood, but it don’t burn liko the typhoid fever— It don’t require quinine, nor Jalap nor squills nor any other bitter stuff. Bit ters cotild pever keep company with anything so sweet. Ballooning Across (Ilo Atlantic. Bending, I’clin., possesses nmonglts citizens ono Professor Donaldson, who has successfully made slneolast August twenty-four ascents In his balloon in various parts of tho South and West, lie has been up ns high ns three miles, as indicated liy hia barometer, and. al though many ‘accidents have befallen him, ho lms survived them all. Hav ing performed mnny daring exploits nliovo tho clouds, he now proposes, as ho told tho reporter of a Beading pn- p6r, to oross tho Atlnntio ooonn the en suing Bummer, Availing himself of tho current of wind which, it has been as certained, blows from west to east at a distance of say,two mjlcs and a half nbore tho earth. He expects to com- lletotho trip of 2,000 miles in somo- hing over two dnys. Tlirco balloons joined'together, with boat, ballast, pro visions, nnd all tho necessary require ments, and with a basket attached to the balloon, will constitute his icrlnl ship. Rouinncc nml Fact. A young ooitplc wore sitting togeth er in a romantic spot, with birds mid flowors about them, when the follow ing dialogue ensiled: “My dear, if tho sacrifice of my life would please thee, most gladly would I lay it nt thy feet.” “Ob, sir, yon aro too kind. But it jnst reminds mo that I wisli you’d leave off using tobacco.” “Can’t think of it. It’s a habit to which I am wedded.” “Very well, sir, since lids is tho way you lay down your life for me, and ns you are already wedded to tobacco, I’ll tako good care you aro never wedded to mo, as it would be bigamy.” Indemnifying Slave Owners. The committee on the abolition of slavery in l’orto Rico hasjleclnrod in favor of granting tho owners an aver age indemnity of $250 per slave. And yet the Spanish Government makes no especial pretensions to being a govern ment of “moral ideas.” A Slight Mistake. The gentleman who does the Aunn- nias and Sapidra business of the Ter ra Haute Express Bays that a minister opened his front 'door suddenly, nnd surprised n guilty looking man who was just in the act of depositing a neatly-covered basket on the door-step. The mooting ivas rapturous. “Ah!” said tho minister, rushing out nud grasping tlie man by the cqUar, while ho plied n heavy soled boot vigorously under tho coat-tail of Iiis visitor, “what do you mean, you villain, by leaving a baby on my door-step ? Ah, I have you, you scoundrel 1 I’ll show you how to abandon nn infant to the cold mercies of the world.” And all those remarks were punctuated by kicks. “I liain’t left any lmby at your door,” said tho man, taking up the bas ket and lifting the cover. _,}{! brought aright fat turkey for you, but I’m d—d if you shall have it now, if you were starving nnd walked away. Colton Tax Bill. On the 22d the House Committco on Ways nnd Means decided to indefinite ly postpone all further consideration of the bill refunding tho cotton tax, which hill had been referred to this committee for their action. Twenty Tears Tonager. To say tlmt hundreds of maids, wives and widows look twenty years younger tlmn they are in consequence of the complexional freshness derived from tlio use of Hagan’s Magnolia Balm, is simply to stato an absolute fact, which might be promptly verified by direct testimony if Indies wore ns willing to tell their ages as to use tho host means of making themselves love ly. Nature sometimes, hut very rare ly, erowns tho clmrm of perfect fea tures with a complexion of exquisite clearness; but oven then timo soon be gins to make inroads upon the velvet arm. To preserve tho “glory of wo- mnn”iinhlemislicd,it is only necessary to use daily this cooling, healthful veget able preparation. Failures In Society. Society is full of failures tlmt need never have been made; full of men who have never succeeded, when they might have and should have succeeded; lull of women who, in tho first half of their days, did nothing hut cat nnd sleep and simper, nnd in tho Inst half have done nothing but perpetuate their follies and weaknesses. The world is full, I say, of such people, full of men in every trndo and profession, who do not amount to anything, nnd of girl j and’women without any trade or profes sion, who have no desire to amount to anything; nnd 1 do not speak irrev erently, and I trust, not without due charity, without making duo allowenco to the inevitable in lire, when I say that God and thoughtful men are wor thy of their presence. Every hoy ought to improve on his father; every girl grow into n nobler, gentler, more self- denying womanhood tlmn her moth er. No reproduction of former type will givo tho world the perfect type.— I know not where the inillcnium is, as measured by distanoo of lime, hut I do know, and so do you all, tlmt it is a great way off as measured by human growth and expansion. Wo have no such men nnd women yet—no age lias over had any—as shall stand on earth in tlmt age of peaco tlmt will come not until men aro worthy of it—Beo. 177 II. H. Murray. Only ono Succeeded.

A remnrkablo accident occurred on New Year’s night, ono tlio narration of Which would not ho bellovod, only that reliable parties tell tho story, nnd tho man hurt has boon scon and'interview ed. It appears tlmt, oil tho cvonlng of tho day mentioned, William Lattt- ior, driver of No. 6 engine, Jersey City flro department, started for Bup- per, his rosideneo being in Sixtli street, near Coles street. When near homo ho slipped upon a pleco of ice, falling backward, nnd the flesh near the Blioul- dor blade was penetrated by tho point of a well sharpened lend penoll, which stood upright, Imbedded in tlio hard encrusted snow. Tho pointed woodfcn dagger pierced through Ids two coats, iindorclothing, hnd then through tlio wliolo body, coming slightly out (the end) in his breast, near tho armpit.— He ate his supper, nnd did not feel much pain until two hours later, though lie thought he felt n little sore. He went back to the engine-house, and there nnd then he said lie thought he had broken n hope in his fall. His coats were stripped off, nnd then his friends saw tbe sharp point of the pencil protruding slightly, the other an unshjirpencd end being imbeddod in his bRck. All who saw the sight wore astonished, as well they might lie. Dr. Beeves was immediately sent for, and lie and Foreman Ilogan had to tako pinchers, nnd ent nnd slnsh nt tho flesh before they could get a good hold of tho pencil so ns to pull It out. The job of extracting it was difflonlt. Lnutier now lies nt home, weak in condition, though ho will recover.— This rrtust he set down as the most re markable oase of stabbing and of “penoilHnga by tho way,” on record.— Jersey City Journal. A Tcrrlblo Punishment.

He was questioned through an interpreter as to his knowledge of tho nature of an oath. “What will be your punish ment,” asked the interpreter, “If you swear a lie ?” “I shall never return to China, hut always remain iu Now York,” was the reply.' Coating Seven Cents. One pound of green copperas cost ing seven cents,.dissolved in one quart of water, and poured down a water- closet, will, says the Industrial Month ly, effectually concentrate nnd destroy the foulest smells. On board ships and steamboats, about hotels aTid oth er public places, there is nothing so nice to purify the air. Simple green copperas, dissolved under tho hod, in anything tlmt will hold water, will render a hospital, or any other place for tho sick, free from unpleasant smells. For butchers’ stalls, llsli mar kets, slaughter' houses,.sinks, or wlior ever there nre offensive, putrid gases dissolve copperas nnd sprinkle it about, and in a fen - days the smell will pass away. If a cat, rat or mouse dies about tho house nnd sends forth nn of fensive gas, place some dissolved cop peras in nn open vessel near the place where the nuisance is, and it will soon purify the atmosphere. Tho rrinlcr. At a trade meeting thfi following toast wns given : “ The printor—lie beats-the fanner witli his hoe, the car penter with his rule, the mason in set ting np columns; lie surpasses the law yer nnd doctor in attending eases, nnd bents the parson in the management of the devil.” VOL.
